About the game
What you do in a play session
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game throws you straight into the machine-infested post-apocalyptic world of the original game. You and up to three friends (or just yourself in solo mode) become hunters from different tribes, each with unique abilities. Each mission pits you against dangerous machines as you manage resources and cards to survive—with a brutal boss waiting at the end. The cool part? Every game feels fresh thanks to customizable hunters, upgradeable gear, and random encounters. It's semi-cooperative, so watch out for your friends' 'help'—they might have secret agendas!

Nope, but fans will spot tons of references. The tutorial explains everything clearly.
How long does a game take?
About 1-1.5 hours, though first games might run longer while learning.
